WINTER NOTES.
Common Occurrences in and About
the City. e
Matters of Minor Importance
Hastily Gathered. I'D.

The recent warm weather is very I'M
favorable for the ice harvesters.
Travel on the Union Pacific is quite
heavy for this season of the year.
The collector was largely abroad yester-
day, and met with reasonable success.
James A. Bean and family are at Los
Angeles, Cal, where Jim proposes to re-
main permanently.
The land Office authorities are being
kept very busy OF late, and important con-
tests are evidently in progress.
Congress will adjourn sine die on Friday
Of the present week, and the country will
breathe easier for a few months.
Bridget Gallagher was released from the
calaboose last evening, but will probably
be heard from again in due time.
Spring has come again, according to the
months, but the spring poets have not
materialized, at least not in Cheyenne. f..
One Of the Cheyenne weekly papers
has been on the point of changing hands
this week, but no transfer has yet taken
place.
A good many people were somewhat
alarmed yesterday at the ringing of the
fire bell, but it soon came to be understood
what it meant.
Several articles Of attached property,
including a trunk and its contents, we're
sold by B. f.. Deitrick. as special consta-
bic, yesterday.
Reports from the ranges are to the
effect that cattle are doing as well, if not
better than during any winter heretofore
in the history of the territory
The members of the fire committee
devoted a considerable portion of the time
yesterday to the matter of observing the
workings of the new fire alarm system.
The members of the police force expect
to make their appearance to-day in their
new uniforms, which are very neat ones,
and in which the boys" will look gor-
geous.
There are several tramps and ''cheru-
buns in the calaboose who are awaiting
transportation, which will be furnished
them in due time by the .'Emigrants' Aid
Society"
The board OF county commissioners
came pretty near getting smoked out of
the county clerks Office yesterday. Heat
tie court house by steam, and this diff
Guilty will be obviated.
Our people cannot be too careful about
putting out Goals and hot ashes in their
ash cans, for several times of late there

The first of the coming series of bicycle
hops will be held in Library hall next
Friday evening. The LEADER acknowl-
edges the receipt of an invitation to attend

There is a queer evangelist now holding
religious meetings in Denver. Here are
some of his dogmatic utterances: No
man who wears tight pants can be a
Christian, and no woman who pays 81 for
an eight button pair of kid gloves can
ever enter the kingdom of heaven. l see
that o girls are inclined to kick at that,
but don't care. Hell is full of people
who kick at the truth"
The kids are responsible for one
thing, which is not only a positive nui-
sance, but, further than this, some of
them are liable to get injured. Almost
every express wagon and many other
classes of vehicles which drive about the
streets are each pursued by from one to
half a dozen small boys who climb in at
the rear end and thereby catch a short
ride. This practice ought to be promptly
discouraged.
